RNAV Approaches vs RNAV RNP Approaches.....Not to be confused, two different Approaches per criteria.

RNAV: Direct Point-to-Point Routing via the approach course, Radar Monitoring during the Approach needed.

RNAV/RNP: More "Complex Routes" ie "RF" segments on the Approach, Tighter Performance Req. (More restrictive TERPS), No Radar Requirements, Seamless Vertical Path/Routing....RNP mins vary per Ops Certificate IE CAL .15, or SWA .30
